*Spoiler* The part of 'Deathly Hallows' that most made me want to go UGH was...

[Danger Mouse]

Which of these things about the book grossed you out the most?
Did I forget something?
Feel free to suggest...
For me, it was Nagini bursting from the body of Bathilda...
:puke:

[Withywindle]

1. None of the above...

...for me it was Moody's anti-Snape protection charm on Grimmauld Place.

"I didn't kill you!"

Fake zombie!Dumbledore! :scared:

[Danger Mouse]

2. I had forgotten about that!

Ugh, yeah, and you had to face it everytime you went in the house!

[mondo joe]

3. When Ron told Draco his mother was a Horcrux.

[TechBear_Seattle]

6. Uh, what? n/t

[realisticphish]

16. i think

someone's combining random HP phrases :D

[XemaSab]

4. I think pretty much any scene with Nagini...

What a nasty caricature. Like, the ADL or some other group should be out there protesting such a vile portrayal Serpent culture. :P

[XemaSab]

5. That being said, the scenes with Bathilda and Charity

were both like, OMG!!!! :o

[Danger Mouse]

7. Yes. Definitely.

Definitely. Harry couldn't even bear to tell Hermione how Nagini had got there. I thought that was really clever, though...luring Harry away, speaking in parsseltongue when Harmione was out of earshot...

[XemaSab]

8. Oh, and realizing what the smell is.....

:scared: :puke:

[Twillig]

43. except teh luvly Neville and Nagini scene.

:-)

[Rwalsh]

9. The way Snape died. n/t

[Danger Mouse]

13. Yes. Having his neck chomped by Nagini...

then giving Harry his memories while bleeding to death...pretty gruesome...

[Debi]

10. Uh Ron and Hermoine snogging - n/t

[Danger Mouse]

11. I can almost hear the wet smacking sounds...

:P

[deadparrot]

41. LOL. Close!

The epilogue made me groan, though. Even though I wouldn't have put those particular sets of characters together in the end, I saw the writing on the wall and had basically made my peace with it. But the epilogue was just too damn saccharine, fluffy, sunshine-and-bunnies for me. I've been reading George R. R. Martin too long. :)

[Lars39]

12. The

flayed/child/creature thingy that kept making noises.

[northzax]

14. Don't you think that this thing

Was the 6/7ths of voldemort's soul? The ones already destroyed in the horcruxes?

[Bjornsdotter]

15. Yes

....that was my take on it.

Cheers

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

17. The glossing over of the deaths of

Lupin and Tonks. it grossed me out that it was just "look, they're dead on the floor" no fight, no explanation, no nothing.

[Danger Mouse]

18. Yeah...

I mean, it came as a horrible shock. I mean, it's one thing not to explain what happened to Colin...but Lupin and Tonks...you'd want to know how they died! I guess you can leave it to the imagination. Wouldn't be surprised if Fenrir got Lupin and Bellatrix got Tonks...

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

19. Actually, when Tonks is looking for Remus during the battle,

Aberforth tells Tonks he's seen Remus dueling Dolohov (pg. 626)....thats the last mention of them till the dead boddies. But your theory could be true too. It definitly upset me the most. They seemed so central to the story for a long time....and now their kid is parentless like Harry. I was hoping their would be a bit more glory with their deaths....sigh, that was the biggest UGH for me...next to the epilogue that is, lol. I hated the epilogue.

[Danger Mouse]

20. Dolohov doesn't seem like he could've killed Tonks AND Lupin.

I liked the epilogue ONLY because of what Harry said about Snape at the very end. :cry: Made it all worth it.
I think what possibly happened, is Lupin got killed by Greyback (as I recall, Greyback had it in for Lupin because he considered him a traitor to all werewolves), and then when Tonks rushed in Bellatrix got her. I don't know that Bellatrix could've taken both Lupin and Tonks on her own, skilled as she was.
I'm pretty sure Bella had something to do with their deaths though, she HATED Tonks.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

21. No matter what happened, it was definitly my least favorite thing in the story

itself. I dont think Dolohov could have taken them out either. I definitely could see bellatrix taking tonks, she did have it in for her.

[Danger Mouse]

22. Since we know nothing else...until we hear otherwise...

I'm going to assume that Greyback got Lupin and Bellatrix got Tonks.
Man, Fenrir gave me the shivers...

[XemaSab]

53. For real...

girl flesh. :scared:

[northzax]

29. i think that this was intentional

(well, of course it was intentional) but not knowing what happened just contributes to the chaos of the battle. it's war, who knows what happened, is I think the point of it all.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

32. I didn't mind all those "random" deaths.

It's war, for fuck's sake. Random people will die in random ways. Just because a person is "important" doesn't mean he/she gets an important, pages-long, dramatic death.

:D

[badgerpup]

45. What I want to know is did Fenrir actually BITE Lavender or not?

That was left kind of vague...

[Lars39]

52. I think Hermione stopped him in time.

[grace0418]

54. I was mad at first too. But then I realized that's exactly how Harry found out.

It was revealed to the reader the way it was revealed to Harry, and probably how you might find out if you were engaged in such a frenzied battle. You wouldn't see their last glorious moments, you'd just discover their bodies after the fighting died down.

It was awful though. Poor Teddy.

[XemaSab]

23. One of the moments that just occured to me is Kreacher

saying he got away from the Inferi, and the kids are like, "Oh, you apparated." And he just repeats "I got away."

:scared:

[fizzgig]

24. i don't know about an 'ugh' moment

but my blood ran cold when kingsley's patronus appeared at the wedding

but bellatrix's near orgasmic fawning over voldemort made my stomach churn :puke:

[Scooter24]

39. It made mine do the same as well...

"The ministry has fallen. Scrimgeour is dead. They are coming."

Yeah...like I couldn't turn the page with a sentence like that!

[WildEyedLiberal]

25. God Greyback was revolting

Oh BTW when he bit Lavender, was he in werewolf form or human form? That wasn't really clear to me. If he was in human form she probably won't have any residual effects but if not... :scared:

[fizzgig]

26. f'ing grayback

i hadn't even thought of that

[LostinVA]

27. Yeah, his desire to be given Hermione was very rapist-like and disgusting

[Danger Mouse]

34. Pretty sure he was werewolf, otherwise Remus would've been too.

You know what would've been fuckin sweet? Lupin vs. Greyback in werewolf form, battle of the werewolves.
Anyway, a sinking feeling tells me that Lupin's killer was Greyback...noone hated Remus more than him, after all.
Lavender should be fine, in any case.

[WildEyedLiberal]

42. At least Lupin apparently died of the killing curse

The book mentions that Harry saw Lupin and Tonks laid out side by side "like they were sleeping" so at least both of them went instantly by Avada Kedavra, whoever it was that cursed them.

I wish she'd been more clear on the fates of various villains in the battle - whether they got killed or thrown in Azkaban forever or whatever. Bellatrix is the only one who explicitly dies AFAIK and the Malfoys explicitly survive. I REALLY wanted to find out what happened to Umbridge. I had been hoping and praying for her untimely demise ever since OOTP.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

28. Bellatrix...

She made me want to vomit. I mean, could she have wanted to ride Voldemort like a stallion more?!
Also, George not only lost his ear, he lost his twin, best friend, and business partner. George will never be the same. That didn't get an UGH from me, it got several sobs. The Weasley twins were my favorite characters in the book. Jo will get a stern talking to if we ever meet. I cannot believe she killed him off. I'm still very raw about the whole thing.
Duckie

[Danger Mouse]

35. How does the thought of Bellatrix and Voldemort doing the nasty strike you?

:hi:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

36. Revolting.

She just oozes that she's horny for him. It's repulsive.
Although I can't wait to see it on the big screen.
Duckie

[Danger Mouse]

37. He didn't seem to mind, either. In fact, Bellatrix was his favorite, after Snape.

Maybe his only true love was his snake...
:puke:

[realisticphish]

40. i don't really see that

it looks more like fanatical religious worship, rather than a sexual thing

[SoxFan]

48. The Weasley twins

This rattled me a bit, since Fred and George remind me a lot of my two younger brothers at that age. Hell, the whole Weasley family is my family. That clock with "mortal peril" on it is exactly the sort of thing my mom would come up with!

[LostinVA]

30. The definite Holocaust parallels were very disturbing and effective, imo

[WildEyedLiberal]

31. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.

The hideous caricatures of Muggles, that carving (!) in the Ministry, the "Blood Status" and "relocation" and all of that... that was one of the most disturbing aspects of the book IMO.

[Danger Mouse]

33. Yeah...those chapters made my skin crawl.

Umbridge should rot in Azkaban for the rest of her miserable life.

[Rabrrrrrr]

38. The complete lack of gay characters - it bothers me.

Rowling was otherwise so wonderfully realistic with the kids swearing, acting up, snogging, plus the inclusion of so many different races and cultures, representing the full face of British citizenry, and so on - there was no reason not to have some gay characters.

And that's not to say she would have had to make a big deal of it, but to treat it as natural and normal as the hetero relationships. If Ron and Hermione can hold hands, why not Seamus and Neville, for instance? Doesn't have to be graphic, or "OH MY GOD!" quality.

It just would have been better

[badgerpup]

46. Read some of the fanfic if you want gay characters...

Hoo-whee!
Some of the slash is very well written too.

[Rabrrrrrr]

47. I'm not a fan of fanfic. Tends to be sexually bizarre, poorly written,

and generally not worth my time to sift through the crap to find the few good ones.

What is "slash"?

[badgerpup]

50. Slash is...

...as far as I can figure out- a term used to denote same-sex sexual encounters taking place. If it's labeled YAAOI (acronym for a Japanese term that I can't recall), it means the whole point of the piece is for the characters to boff each others brains out...there is no real story line. I've also seen it designated as 'Plot what plot?'.

I usually skip those, I like a bit of plot, dialogue and character development along with the boinking.

You can PM me if you want the link to a site that has rather good authors...and everything is very CLEARLY labeled as to what's going on; e.g. fluff, silly, angst, out-of-character, character death, sex-and-drugs-and rock 'n' roll...so you can pick and choose what you want to read.
Some of the authors appear to have the idea of how to write STORY as well as sex scenes.
Just not sure if posting link for that sort of thing is kosher...:shrug:

[flamingyouth]

44. Yeah, that freaked me out too.

:scared: I already have a snake phobia. :scared:

[AnnieBW]

49. The only thing that bothered me a Crabbe Roasting

is that Harry should have used more water in his Aguamenti spell. Everybody KNOWS that you're supposed to STEAM Crabbes, not broil them!

[Skittles]

51. JAYSUS IT ALL SOUNDS DISGUSTING

I mean, REALLY
